A Pokémon virtual pet in your browser. Raise one of the original 151, battle and catch wild Pokémon, climb Knomi Tower, fill your Pokédex, play mini games and meet your buddies. Free, with nothing to install.
CRT effect: each scanline a soft beam, a warm glow, a slightly curved glass for that nostalgia look. The CRT button under the game turns it off, and Size makes the screen smaller.

Open pokewebgochi.3dprintsos.com and tap Share → Add to Home Screen (iPhone) or Install app (Android). It gets its own icon and opens full screen, like an app.
Tap, hold and swipe the screen, and tilt your phone to aim a Poké Ball. iPhones ask once whether the page may use motion. On Android, the phone buzzes softly with taps, meals, medals and catches; the Vibration button under the screen turns it off.
- Tap your Pokémon to pet it. The icons along the bottom, from left to right, open the mini games, start a battle, open your bag to feed it (in the middle), turn off the light at bedtime and give it a bath.
- Hold your Pokémon for the menu, a ring of Settings (sound, language, and an About page with links to the code and the YouTube channel), Medals (the trophy room), Stats (its card: tap its name there to rename it) and the Pokédex. Slide onto one and let go, or let go first and tap one. The round ✕ at the bottom closes any of them, and the arrows at the sides (or a swipe) slide their pages across.
- Battle with the map icon: travel to a zone and search, or tap Wild Encounter to meet a wild Pokémon at your Pokémon's home, and catch what you beat to fill your Pokédex: tap a ball to choose it and Throw to throw it at the Pokémon running back and forth, leaning (or using the arrow keys) to aim. Every catch has 1 to 3 ★, and a better one replaces yours. Every 25 battles you see through earn an Ultra Ball, which triples the chance, and every 100 a Master Ball, which always catches.
- Knomi Tower: on Travel, tap the arrow on the right to follow the pier out to the tower, then CLIMB! with a full energy bar. Your Pokémon and two friends from your Pokédex fight eight floors of type guardians and then the Legend and Mewtwo, their HP carrying over from fight to fight. Who goes first? marks who should win each fight. Beating the Legend earns a Master Ball every time.
- On a computer, the mouse is a finger: it presses when you click, and what's under it lifts a little. The left and right arrows tilt, all four arrows walk in PokeDungeon, Space starts a wild battle, and on a catch the left and right arrows choose a ball and Space or the up arrow throws it.
- Winning a battle adds attack training.
- Every 6 hours of good care adds defense training.
- Mini games add speed training.
- Weight goes up with food (candy the most) and down with play. Over 50, your Pokémon tires twice as fast.
Each one stops at 100. The Training page on your Pokémon's card shows how far along each one is, and says MAX when it's full.
Your Pokémon fights with two moves: on the right the strongest of its own type, on the left the strongest of any other type. They are the attacks its species learns in Pokémon Red and Blue, up to its level, and it gains a level every hour, asleep or awake. Only levels teach moves, not training or wins. When a stronger one takes over a button, the next wild battle opens with Learned …! A Charmander starts with Scratch, learns Ember at level 9, Slash at 30 and Flamethrower at 38. The moves chart has each move's power and every Pokémon's moves and the level it evolves at.
Your Pokémon is saved in this browser automatically. Clearing the browser's data erases it, so use Export save now and then for a backup file. Import save brings it back, or moves your Pokémon to another browser or computer. The game plays in one tab at a time, and a new version arrives by itself the next time you open it.
Anyone else playing on the same home Wi-Fi shows up on your screen: up to four at once. Tap one to battle, trade Pokédex entries, or play a game together: in Who's That? Showdown you both see the same silhouette and race to name it first, and in Poké Ball Volley your screens are the two halves of one court. Trades are a real swap: the Pokémon you give leaves your Pokédex. Shinies (about 1 wild Pokémon in 100) sparkle, have their own place in the Pokédex and can be traded too. While anyone's around, your Pokémon gets a Party Boost: energy drains a quarter slower, and it has +2 ATK, DEF and SPD in wild battles. Tap the round Party Boost button (two balloons and +2, to the right of your Pokémon) to see who's here, and tap a friend for its stats. A wild Pokémon also visits once a day for an hour, brings a candy and counts for the boost too.

You meet players of the browser version, the Mac and Windows apps and the BTT Knomi handheld alike. Only your Pokémon's species, level, nickname and Pokédex are shared, and only with devices on your network.
The same game runs on the BIGTREETECH Knomi V2, a little round touchscreen made for 3D printers. Put it in a 3D-printed Poké Ball case and you have a pocket tamagotchi that tilts, buzzes and meets the browser, Mac and Windows players as buddies.
